Romeo and Juliet: November 2008

Some of the photographs taken by Dr. Bryan MacLeod (aka "The Prince"). He didn't get any of our knife-fighting or my final scene of discovering the bodies, because he had to be on stage at that point -- in character and not with a honkin' big camera!

Abram and Balthasar (of the Montagues) just before our fight with the Capulet punks.

Note that this was dress rehearsal. I cut back on the lipstick thereafter!!

I've included a couple of Bryan's shots from other scenes I liked:

The death of Mercutio (the shouting and grunting of which I would always listen to from stage left just before my entrance with the Montagues and the Prince).

Gabe "Capulet" calling Sara "Juliet" a baggage and a tallow face etc.

My big scene in which I tell Romeo that Juliet is dead, leading to all sorts of trouble. Maybe Balthasar should have waited for the Coroner's report before heading off to Mantua.
